MP Roux Elisir

Elisir M.P. Roux is an herbal liqueur made with botanicals including
marjoram, hyssop, fennel, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon balm, coriander,
bitter almond, garden balsam, wild angelica, lemon, star anise,
ginseng and damiana. The star anise is immediately identifiable in
this well-crafted product, but it's a very complex liqueur that
marries well with scotch, bourbon, rye, brandy, and dark or well-aged
rums. Used judiciously, Elisir M.P. Roux adds an accent to many
cocktails. It also works well in hot coffee or tea, and as an
after-dinner drink when served neat, at room temperature.

Cranberry syrup

Cook sugar in a dry 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat,
undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring
occasionally with a fork or flat whisk, until sugar is melted and
turns a deep golden caramel. Tilt pan and carefully add cranberries
and water (caramel will harden and vigorously steam). Simmer over
moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is completely dissolved,
then pour syrup through a very fine sieve into a heatproof bowl,
pressing hard on solids. Let cool.

Michter's Sour Mash Whiskey

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of
absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.
Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness
within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.
Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and
doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone
of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
